Codepixel

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of the IT department at the Institute for Public Health Montenegro.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Codepixel?

We needed help with the development of a web-based information system for Voluntary and Confidential Counselling and Testing (VCCT/DPST) services at our institute.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Codepixel has been responsible for the complete design, development, and initial deployment of our web-based information system. The project has included business analysis, UI/UX design, software development, database implementation, testing, and preparation for production deployment. The system has been developed to support counseling and testing activities related to HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis across a national network of counseling centers.
Key deliverables have included the design and development of a centralized web application, the development of a secure database for storing counseling and testing records, user authentication and role-based access control, client registration and case management functionalities, recording of counseling sessions, testing activities, and test results, reporting and statistical export capabilities, implementation of security and privacy controls appropriate for sensitive public health data, preparation of technical documentation and user guidance, and deployment support and transition to production infrastructure.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Codepixel.

How did you come to work with Codepixel?

We found them through a public tender. We chose them because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, and they offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2026, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Although the system is currently in the implementation phase, several measurable outcomes already demonstrate the project's success. The project has been delivered according to the agreed timeline, with the beta version available for testing within the planned schedule. A centralized national platform has been established to replace fragmented and largely manual data collection processes across DPST counseling centers.
The system has standardized data collection and reporting procedures across all participating counseling centers, improving data consistency and quality. Healthcare professionals have been able to validate real-world workflows through testing and provide feedback before the production rollout. The platform has introduced structured electronic records for counseling and testing activities, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and paper-based processes.
The project has created the technical foundation for national-level monitoring, reporting, and future analytics related to HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis testing services. Our institute has gained full access to the source code and technical assets, ensuring the long-term sustainability and maintainability of the solution.
From a strategic perspective, the most important outcome is that Montenegro now has a dedicated digital platform capable of supporting standardized, secure, and scalable management of DPST services nationwide, which was not previously available.

How did Codepixel perform from a project management standpoint?

Codepixel has delivered before deadlines. We communicate via in-person meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What has impressed me most about working with Codepixel is how quickly their team has understood the business domain and the specific needs of the project. This hasn't been a typical software project. 
The system has had to support highly specialized public health workflows related to HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis counseling and testing, including confidentiality requirements, epidemiological reporting, and operational procedures used by healthcare professionals.
Despite the complexity of the subject matter, the Codepixel team has been able to grasp the requirements very quickly and translate them into practical software solutions. 
They've asked the right questions, understood the underlying business processes, and have been able to propose improvements rather than simply implementing requirements verbatim. This has significantly reduced the time needed for knowledge transfer and has allowed the project to move efficiently from planning and design into development.
I've also been impressed by their responsiveness and willingness to adapt as requirements have evolved. Throughout the project, they've maintained a collaborative approach and demonstrated a strong understanding of both the technical and operational aspects of the solution.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Everything has been fine.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a private physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic. We focus on treating pain, injuries, and recovery through modern physical therapy methods.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Codepixel?

We needed to build an online presence.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Codepixel helped us build an amazing selling-oriented website from scratch. We started with a deep discovery phase outlining our key services and selling points. Then, they handled UX/UI design, development, testing, and roll-out to production. The team also provided top-quality SEO and GEO (AI SEO) services. Codepixel created content, generative engine optimization, booking flow design, and review integration.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Codepixel.

How did you come to work with Codepixel?

We worked with them before. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, a great culture fit, and good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from June 2024 to September 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Before working with Codepixel, we didn’t have a website or a digital presence, so we relied only on word of mouth. After launching the website and starting SEO, we saw tremendous numbers in increased bookings, at least 150% compared to before. We also tripled our monthly revenue. The website was optimized for four different languages, which helped us stand out among the competition. Thanks to the high-quality SEO, we were first on search engines for keywords within a month.

How did Codepixel perform from a project management standpoint?

Codepixel delivered on time. We communicated via in-person meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Codepixel’s top-notch quality and technical knowledge were impressive. They knew their thing and exceeded our expectations.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren’t any.

The only issues we can think of are the occasional lack of attention to detail towards the end, at the bug-fixing phase. Some bugs were only partially addressed or required multiple follow-ups to be fully resolved. It is also important to note that due to delays on our side, at this stage, we had exceeded the project's initial timeline.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Since we met Codepixel in 2022 we've continued to be impressed by their delivery and technical skills. They have delivered multiple projects with us to our clients, including Wordpress projects and staff augmentation. 

Their communication is excellent, across Project Managers, Developers and their Leadership Team. They are skilled in agile delivery and are adaptive during projects to shifting client needs. They are also fast at responding which makes project delivery so much easier. The end products delivered always satisfy client needs due to being well designed, technically sound and delivered on time, budget and scope - meaning it helps our clients achieve their business goals. 

We will continue to colloborate with Codepixel in future. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

All projects delivered with Codepixel have been delivered successfully - this means on time, within budget (sometimes there will be change requests but these have been managed well) and on scope. The end products delivered to our clients are technically robust and scalable solutions that end users like using, enabling clients to achieve their business goals. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Each project has a project manager assigned from Codepixel. They communicate well (over Slack, email, calls) and update the project management documentation like project plans and risk logs weekly. This means we have transparency over the project and can see risks before they become issues. if there are problems we discuss and problem solve together. 

What was your primary form of communication with Codepixel?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They truly understand agile delivery, which shows how adaptive they are during project delivery. This means even for the trickiest of clients they are able to succesfully deliver.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Codepixel could have done differently?

As discussed previously with Codepixel, they need to ensure they fully understand the scope before signing off contracts to ensure there are no 'grey' areas, and if they decide to go above and beyond for a client, that this is clearly communicated (written down) so that it doesn't get unnnoticed. This hasn't caused any big problems yet, and because they always respond well to feedback provided, we dont expect it to.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Codepixel could have done differently?

One minor area for improvement was the iOS app deployment process, which took slightly longer than expected. This was likely due to Apple’s stricter review policies, but a better anticipation of potential approval delays could have helped speed things up.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What I found most impressive about Codepixel was their ability to truly understand our business needs and translate them into a digital product that felt custom-built for us. From the start, they took the time to listen and ask the right questions, ensuring they captured our vision perfectly. This deep understanding allowed them to deliver not just a solution, but one that truly aligned with our goals, enhancing both our user experience and business processes. It’s rare to find a team like Codepixel that combines technical expertise with a commitment to its clients' success.

Special thanks to their Co-Founder and CEO, Mihailo, for his exceptional leadership and dedication to our project.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Codepixel could have done differently?

While Codepixel delivered a great final product, there are areas for improvement. One key aspect would be a deeper base knowledge and faster research, particularly when integrating with external services like Monri for web payments or adding personalization features, such as HTML-based confirmation emails. Although the team successfully implemented these solutions, there were times when the research phase could have been quicker, leading to smoother integrations and fewer adjustments during development. A more proactive approach in exploring optimal solutions upfront could have enhanced efficiency and minimized back-and-forth during the project.

• POPKRUG – code of enumeration area, 
• RBRSTAN – code of dwelling, 
• LICE – code of person. Statistical ID (STAT_ID) shall be stick on “QUESTIONNAIRE FOR PERSON“. 

The software solution must be developed as a web-oriented solution, and data that are included in this system must be kept in the centralized database based on the relational model. Additionally, the user authorization system must be based on the unique identifications of citizens. The software solution with the database should be a software architecture that defines a set of rules for creating web service. Web services should enable the interoperability between computer systems on the internet. Software solutions and databases should be installed as systems on the server infrastructure, which shall be provided by the Statistical Office being installed and configured in an isolated infrastructure environment, together with disc encryption of the server. As an additional component of security, the SSL protocol must be used, together with the use of a wildcard certificate. 

• Database The requested data should be stored in the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that enables access to several dozens of citizens simultaneously. The database should enable high availability, autonomy, and isolation compared to other systems. 
• Software solution and user interface Software solution should be published, and in technological terms accessible only via WAF system which should enable blocking of all ports, except for HTTPS, and perform filtering for potential attacks which are generated through it at the applicative level. The software solution should offer a possibility to one user to check data up to three times per day. In this manner, the possibility of misuse of information is additionally reduced. The software solution should also possess a component for generating complete logs (logbooks). The user interface of the software solutions should be responsive for different platforms.

The Codepixel team kept a good handle on project management, keeping an up-to-date Clickup project management interface which aligned the project team on progress. We had frequent progress meetings and sprint reviews which aligned everyone on progress. Our team was often the bottleneck for progress, and we could not keep up with the pace of development of Codepixel.

We would have liked to have more hands-on problem solving and suggestions about how to build the solution, rather than simply following our instructions and being constrained by the user interface that we designed. 

As a company without developer resources in house, we were looking for more support in designing HOW it should be built and would have appreciated Codepixel's viewpoint on this, and also some coaching on what is possible / what is not possible. I think we arrived at this way of working in the end, but it took a few iterations and frustrations on both sides until we reached this way of working.

The project with Codepixel started with the goal of redesign and creation of new version of ooblee corporate website (Wordpress), and later expanded on two new projects - development of web application for shop administration and design and development of web version of ooblee platform (Figma, Angular). In the meantime, our cooperation has been expanded in project management and the HR part of both Codepixel dedicated and internal ooblee development teams.

Using advanced technology and tools on the side of development and management (Java, Java Spring, .NET, Kotlin, Swift, Angular, VueJS, AWS, ClickUp, Slack...) and through expanding the team and quality cooperation with Codepixel, the ooblee product is constantly being improved and continues to develop in accordance with the needs of existing and new markets.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Through the previous cooperation with Codepixel, ooblee got a new redesigned corporate website and web application that enables business users to comfortably manage the shop from a web application. The project of redesign and final development of the ooblee platform web application is on the final phase.

This project will enable customers to use the ooblee platform on the web and shop owners to expand their online business to ecommerce websites generated by ooblee platform. By merging the management of dedicated frontend and ooblee internal backend development team, ooblee got a more efficient and compact development team.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Codepixel's management style brought a new quality to the ooblee development project. Milestones, sprints and resources are planned carefully and concisely, with an effort to build a development team that is motivated and efficient. The communication is clear and focused and the planned work is delivered within the expected deadlines.
